introduction
Rover Scouting is the fifth and final phase of the youth development
program of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines
‘This Program is for young men and women between the ages of 16
‘and 25, or those who are at least tertiary evel students, itis, according
to Baden Powel, a jolly "Brotherhood of the open-air and service.” In
his book Rovering to Success, he describes the “adoption of Rovering
by Scouts of other nations” as the "nucleus of a world-brotherhood of
young men working under a common ideal of Service, and under a
‘common bond of Friendship and Understanding.”
Rover Scouting after its reintegration into the sectionel program of the
BSP has gained immediate and nationwide acceptance to Scouts who
were past the age of Senior Scouting and among men and women
who were former unit leaders and/or Rovers and were not connected
toany Scout unit. thas also become popular among emergency service
‘groups, mountaineering groups, and to local and national executive
board members of the BSP. Records show that Rover Scout units were
‘organized, registered and became active in community service even
as the New Visions Rover Program of 1992 has yet to be approved by
the National Executive Board on 27 March 1992.
Republic Act No. 9163 also known as the NSTP Act of 2001 established
the National Service Training Program (NSTP) for tertiary level students.
Section 2 of this act "recognizes the youth's vital role in nation-building”
land declares that "the State shall promote civic consciousness song
the youth and shall develop their physical, moral, spritual and intellectual
well being, It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism, nationalism, and
‘advance their involvernent in public and civic affairs. In pursuit of these
goals, the youth, the most valuable recource of the nation, shall be
motivated, trained, organized and mobil zed in military training, literacy,
Civie welfare and other simiar endeavors in the service of the nation.”
Civic Weltare Training Service (CWTS), according to Section 3 of
Republic Act 9163, refers to programs or activities contrioutory to the
‘general welfare and betterment of ite fr the members of the community
fof the enhancement of its facili « », especially those devoted to
improving health, education, envy wment, entrepreneurship, safety, ‘consaquenty, Rover Scouting ean be the channel forte continuing
